Green Chili Alfredo Sauce

I bought some fresh pasta the other day. Usually, I serve it with Basil Pesto, but today I decided to do something different. I decided to do a cream sauce. Instead of doing the traditional Alfredo Sauce, I added a Southwestern touch - Green Chili. In New Mexico we believe everything tastes better with Green Chili.

This sauce is super easy to make. You put the milk, cheese, green chili, flour, and salt in a blender. Melt some butter in a saucepan, add garlic and the ingredients from the blender and cook until thick. Add your cheese, let it sit and serve over your favorite pasta.

The aroma of the sauce as it is cooking is intoxicating. The taste - a nice mild chili flavor. Not at all overpowering. It adds a little pizazz to your pasta.

2. Melt butter in a medium skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.
3. Pour milk mixture into the skillet stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook until mixture coats the back of a spoon.

4. Remove from heat. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Cover and let sauce sit for 10 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.

5. Serve over your favorite pasta.

Note: If you have sauce leftover, place in fridge. To serve, remove from fridge and heat. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with some milk.

About Me

Throughout my lifetime, I have been passionate about food. Whether it be cooking food, eating food, researching food, experimenting with recipes, I loved it. I started my cooking adventure at home watching, and helping my parents, grandmother, aunt, and cousin cook. As I got older, I got more involved in cooking. Eventually, with the help of my trusty cookbooks, I was cooking meals on my own. Eventually, I started experimenting with adjusting this and that in recipes. I also started experimenting with duplicating meals I ate at restrauants. Some meals were great experiments, others were not so great. I have had my recipes published in "Taste of Home" publications.
